Proprietary Step-by-Step Instructions

The Golden Paws Pet Styling Book breaks down each step of the grooming process so you can follow the instructor’s direction and “see” how to apply them to the pets from step 1 throughout the whole pet styling process.

Here is a small sample of Prepping 101. This easy step-by-step learning method was developed by master stylist and one of the Nation's top instructor Jaqueline Rauch.  These pages represent skills and prepping procedures.  The steps of shaving of a female stomach and the steps of shaving a poodle face. This procedure is followed thru in Bathing & Drying 102, Styling 103, and The Advanced Styling Seminar 104.

You can see the start and stop points and path of each step.  Your Instructor guides you along each step, and you quickly master your styling skills because not only are you applying the step to the pet, but you can see it in black and white diagrams to truly understand the grooming process.  Each step in the styling process from prepping to fine finishing has been broken down so the student can readily grasp the styling process and be applying fine finish skills in weeks instead of months! What gets our students ready in 6-8 weeks instead of months is our proprietary program. See our photo gallery of pets that our students have groomed. If you want to create beautiful breed designs, Golden Paws School is for you.
